With the aid of this document, Don Pedro hoped to gain possession of the Silver Dale Mine and drive Mr. Rice from the town, but the arrival of Jack in the nick of time saved the day, and Mr. Rice returned to Jack's camp as they were about to move on to the town of Silver Dale. Arriving at the camp they are surprised by the bad men, who try to make a raid in order to get the papers. The villains are beaten and return to their master, Don Pedro, who flies into a rage and insists that by hook or crook he must have the deeds. The leader of the villains asks for one more chance. The old Don hits on a plan and unfolds it to his hirelings. He writes a fake message to Mr. Rice to come at once to the mine, and gives it to the villains. They bribe a boy to deliver it to Mr. Rice. The boy does so, and Mr. Rice hands it over to Jack, who is in the office with him. They decide that it might be a hoax, but they can do no better than go over to the mine and see, so giving strict orders to the bookkeeper to keep a close eye on everything during his absence, he and Jack leave and are no sooner gone when the three villains enter, and overpowering the bookkeeper after a terrific struggle, they find the paper they are looking for in the safe and lose no time in getting away, As they are leaving they are seen by Jink's two partners, who give chase. Mr. Rice and Jack on the way to the mine are surprised to see the three villains go by chased by his two partners. They join the chase. On returning to town with them they see Don Pedro and his two friends. So, hiding behind a tree, they send the leader of the villains out in the center of the road at the point of their guns and the old Don, riding up asks for the paper that he ordered him to steal. Jack rides out and captures him and his party. The prisoners are handed over to the Sheriff and taken away to jail. The deeds for the mine are once more returned to the mine owner.
